Use cash it’s the cheapest option, it’s so good btw probably one of the best shawarma platters! My friend had the chapli kebab platter and i tried that too and would say the shawarma platter is on the same level.

Yeah skip Adele this place is real shawarma and small lines. Only thing Adele got better is the spicy rice.

Food truck with fantastic chicken shawarma. Excellent price at $12 cash, shawarma, rice, fries, and salad. Shawarma is flavorful and the 3 sauces are top notch. You will not be disappointed or hungry after this plate meal!!!

Food was phenomenal, great sized portions and very reasonable price for the chicken and beef combo. Service was quick and there wasn’t too much of a line.

I ordered the Beef Chapli Kebab and Chicken Chapli Kebab, 2 Way Combo Platter, with the White Sauce and Kicker Sauce. The meats were great and had a nice herb flavor, but what really stood out to me was the rice. Oftentimes with a meal, rice is just filler, but their rice was so flavorful! It was so aromatic, full of spices, and not too mushy or too dry. The quality of everything was very good, the portion size is large, and the price is very reasonable.

I had a wonderful experience at Shawarma Bay. I tried the Two-Way Combo Salad (Chicken & Beef) and the Two-Way Combo (Chapli Kabab & Fish), and both were exceptionally delicious. The flavors were well-balanced and clearly made with quality ingredients. I highly recommend the Chapli Kabab and Fish combo—it truly stood out and was outstanding in taste. The hospitality was equally impressive; when the staff learned that I am from Pakistan, they kindly offered a complimentary soda, which was a thoughtful gesture. Overall, great food, excellent service, and warm, welcoming people. Thank you, Shawarma Bay, for a fantastic dining experience.

Shawarma Bay is a true standout in Manhattan. I mostly order their Beef Chapli Kabab platter. The kababs are incredibly juicy, perfectly spiced with that authentic crispy edge, and packed with genuine Peshawari flavor. Served with fragrant rice, fresh salad, and flavorful sauces that complete the meal beautifully. Generous portion, outstanding quality, and very friendly staff. Easily the best Chapli Kabab I’ve had in NYC. Highly recommend.

Had their 2 way combo platter, 2 days back to back during my visit to NYC! It was absolutely delicious! A lot of people will talk about the meat (which were great) but for me, the rice was the stand out - perfectly spiced which complimented the meats very well. Service was really friendly and quick as well. Waited no more that 10/15mins during both times. No long queues, but as good, if not better than others.

I stopped at Schwarma Bay on 6th Street and was blown away. We ordered the chicken shawarma and the falafel, and both were exceptional. The portions were generous, everything tasted incredibly fresh, and you can tell they put real care into their food. The workers were also super friendly. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and tender, and the falafel had that ideal crispy-outside, soft-inside texture. Definitely one of the best food trucks around, a must go if you are in the area!!

The lines by some of the other carts was extremely long. Decided to try these guys out based on a coworkers recommendation. I was not disappointed; fresh delicious afghan fare at a reasonable price.

Their Beef Chapli Kebab is an absolute must-try! Perfectly seasoned, juicy, and bursting with authentic flavor. You can tell it’s their signature dish for a reason. Plus, the staff are super friendly and make you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. Definitely coming back!

I’m a bit upset that I can’t give more than 5 stars. This is the best food truck I’ve had in New York. Anyone who knows what’s good in NY will understand that this is a milestone. Come try it out before it becomes commercialised because it’s just that good!

Love the food — better than Adele! I ordered the Chapli Combo Platter, and it was amazing — especially the chicken! The team’s hospitality is incredible; they even gave us free falafel and water. I’ll definitely come back for the Chicken Chapli!

Benito Martinez

Such an amazing food truck. My opinion - best food truck in Manhattan. Every time I come to New York, I grab a bite for dinner or save for the next day 75% of my stay. They guys are friendly, generous, and always deliver delicious food.

Very tasty food with a good portion size. Very much worth the money. I would say though that Adel's is ever so slightly better in taste. Had to wait a little longer than expected, but they made amends by adding extra chicken on top of the beef and a coke on the house. Would definitely go back when in NYC next.

Shawarma Bay is 10/10! It’s consistently excellent. The beef and chicken chapli platter is a go-to and what they usually recommend, but we actually like the shawarma even more. Staff are very nice, and prices are reasonable. The line at some of the other carts nearby are way too long, definitely stop by here instead. All Halal of course.

Shawarma Bay is my top choice for quick halal food. I ordered the combo with rice, and it was outstanding flavorful, fresh, and generous. Honestly, it outshines both Adeel and Halal Guys.

Shawarma chicken platter was perfect for late night munchies. The chicken, the rice, the fries, the salad, all topped with the white, red, and green sauces and finished with some kind of red pepper powder = glorious flavor and texture. Plus it came in generous portions. I need to come again and try more items.

The shawarma is tasty and juicy. The staff work quickly and efficiently, and there was no long wait. The location is easy to access and doesn’t require any special effort to find

The line was shorter than Adel’s which is about a block away, so if you’re in the mood for good food but don’t want to wait so long, come here. The chapli kebabs are unique with an afghani taste. What I loved the most was the taste of the sauces combined; it’s really inexplicable, but if I had to describe it, it was savory, spicy, a hint of sweet, and just hits all your tastebuds. About $14-15 for a combo platter, so it’s pretty good. They open ~7:30pm. If you’re not there early, you can expect maybe a 30min wait.
